Recently popped for driving a Vespa under the influence, actor Micky Rourke is set to replace Nicholas Cage in Darren Aronofsky's upcoming project "The Wrestler."
According to Variety, Rourke will take Cage's role of Randy "The Ram" Robinson, an over-the-hill wrestler who returns to the ring one last time to face his nemesis, "The Ayatollah."
No word on why Cage has left the production, but Rourke is trained as a professional boxer.
Aronofsky will begin shooting "The Wrestler" in January.
